I made this little guy for MissingWillow for the Altered Spool Swap. This was such a fun little swap to get me back into swapping online again, although for some reason I was a real slowpoke on getting it finished. She listed 10 themes, so I had a lot to choose from, but I noticed she had commented on her desire for a zombie-sheep combination in another swap, so two themes became one I found a wonderfully bright green spool at a antique shop by the flea market. After searching the flea market for a spool less than 6 inches big for a couple hours, I was pretty relieved to find this one.

The sheep parts are all needle-felted with the exception of the ears which are a wool-poly blend. One ear is a tad bit nibbled by fellow zombie sheep perhaps. His legs have decayed a little, but he still gets by. His zombie infection must have been transmitted through that nasty bite in his side from a fellow sheep.

The scroll represents the unwritten story of how the great Lizzy saved Missing Willow Farm. The sheep, zombie sheep, and Lizzy are hand embroidered onto fabric which was then attached to some more of that lovely wool-poly blend felt. His scroll ties closed to a little red button on his belly. (Belly button! )

I was SO HAPPY to receive something felted from PerfectlyBohemian. The fact that it was a zombie sheep... score! I am thrilled to own this, my little collection is slowly growing. Thank you so much, swapping in person was fun!

MW, I would gladly swap with you in person anytime! The company was amazing, and I adore your farm! I've been bragging to all my fellow local crafters that I got to milk a goat Chad was talking about Jack's skills for a while on the drive back, too. We both had a lot of fun.
